If interested, we’ve written a full table tennis table buyers guide here, which may help you in determining which table suits your home the best.
Table top
A 16mm thick tabletop provides good bounce for home use. However, this may not be thick enough if you have more advanced players in the house. For this price range, the chances are you’re going to get 16mm or 18mm.
The tabletop is protected by a scuff-resistant UV finish which protects the surface from ball marks and chipping.
If you’re looking for a slightly thicker table for your home, the Killerspin UnPlugNPlay 415 Mega is 18mm and provides slightly better bounce.
Assemble time
One slight defect of the UnPlugNPlay 415 is that you will have to assemble the table yourself. This process is made easier by using the BILT application, which gives a step-by-step guide to building your table.
This can be made into an exciting activity with the family, as you’re building a table which is going to provide years of fun.
Storage
A lightweight folding design makes it easy to store the table when not in use. Both halves of the table fold into one another and can fit into a tight space. The lighter weight of the tabletop means one person is capable of packing the table away.
Locking caster wheels on each half of the table ensures the table is secure in the storage position.
Playback functionality
The UnPlugNPlay 415 has a playback-mode, by folding up one half of the table into the storage position and leaving the one half in normal play position.
This allows players to practice long hours when there isn’t a friendly rival up for a game.
Wheels
Each half of the table has 4 locking caster wheels, making transport safe and comfortable. These wheels each have a lock, meaning the UnPlugNPlay 415 is secure and stable in storage or during a match.
Having a solid wheel system is vital to the free-flowing, easy mobility of your table.
Height levelers
4 built-in adjustable height levelers ensure that the games are played on a perfectly level surface at all times.
Sometimes, the table may not be set up on a perfectly flat surface, which will lead to an uneven and inconsistent bounce. Having height levelers helps adjust in these environments.
Net system
Killerspin has included their premium screw-on net and post system, which means you won’t need to go looking for a new net anytime soon.
This screw-on net provides the ultimate stability and rigidity, and you’ll seldom need to tighten the net during games.
Ball/paddle storage
Each side of the tabletop can store up to 8 balls, making games go smooth as ever.
On the side of the tabletop, where the player stands, there is a built-in paddle holder for each opposite side. These holders can store up to 2 paddles each.
Essentially, one half is for ping pong balls, and the other is for paddles.
The brand
Killerspin is becoming one of the fastest-growing brands in table tennis. They are one of the newer brands, but the quality and innovation in their products is undeniable.
Killerspin is a luxury table tennis brand that strives to create engaging experiences for anyone on the ping pong table.
